On July 1, an Indiana law went into effect making it a crime to come within 25 feet of an on-duty police officer if ordered to stay back.

Pretty sure it’s already against the law in Illinois. You can’t film anyone without their consent.

My building’s management was threatening illegal shit to me. I asked if I could record the conversation for my records; manager smiled and said no, that’s against the law.

She was managing a building for severely mentally ill individuals. And was doing horrible things. She threatened me because I called her out on Facebook for not treating bed bugs in the residence of a vulnerable, unnamed individual. Lmao. Said I was violating HIPAA and she would have me arrested. I emailed her the law that states that HIPAA only applies to employees <3

So glad I got out of there. They were massive dicks and were constantly threatening to evict me. While other residents were violent and RACIST (most of the residents were black, they had a white resident that called a CHILD the n word) and they weren’t evicted. I hate this planet.

The 2 party consent only applies in private, you can film people in public

I think I asked to record a conversation with some cops and I was told no then, too. I was complaining that my upstairs neighbor had been screaming for six hours straight and had been slamming and breaking things. At night.

They asked why I was cursing and being aggressive towards them (I literally just said it was fucking loud or something) and they told me I should be more sympathetic towards her because she has a mental illness. Okay. She also has a criminal history and she came at me with a knife. She was acting up because she was drunk and part of our lease was no alcohol usage on the property or we’d be evicted immediately. Manager did find a beer can of hers and she was still living there. She nearly destroyed her apartment and mine by flooding it and then refusing to use the fans because she didn’t like it (note that I had the fans on too and I’m autistic so I’m sensitive to loud noise). Point is, there’s mental illness and there’s being a scumbag. She refused treatment too and I’m pretty sure treatment was another condition of living there. They wouldn’t evict anyone for anything serious, but when I slandered them I was threatened with eviction and arrest.

I feel sorry for you if you believe that the reason for this law is so police can kill minorities with impunity.
